Ingredients

• 180 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Brown sugar, packed
• 120 grams Tahini (sesame paste)
• 1 piece Egg, large
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds, for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the tahini, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, spoon out portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten the cookie dough balls with the back of a spoon or your palm.

Step 7

Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with sesame seeds for added crunch and aesthetic appeal.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden but the centers remain soft.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
